Speed: The laser is flashed once per well, faster than the multiple images taken during image-based autofocus. Laser autofocus works well with dim fluorophores and transmitted light imaging.

Reproducibility: Laser autofocus is less likely to be impacted by debris in the well, since the focus is relative to the well bottom. Laser autofocus offers the highest accuracy during long-term kinetics

Lower phototoxicity and photobleaching: Because the laser is flashed only once per well and is a very focused light source, phototoxicity and photobleaching are kept to a minimum. Laser autofocus is ideal for live cell assays and fluorophores that bleach easily.

With both image-based and laser autofocus available in Lionheart FX and Cytation, an added advantage is that users can select the most appropriate autofocus methods for the biology being imaged, whether it a cell monolayer or cells moving in the well.

The laser autofocus design incorporates all components into a single cube (shown right), designed for easy user installation into the LED/filter cube slider, on new or existing instruments. Three fluorescence and one brightfield channel are available for imaging, even with the laser autofocus option installed.

BioTek’s method of laser autofocus uses a laser and the camera to locate the well bottom:

Laser Autofocus Benefits:

Increased focus speed

Increased reproducibility

Lowered phototoxicity and photobleaching

Used along with standard image-based autofocus, both methods provide best autofocus options for a variety of biologies.
